The Almanac's Take

Six games, no weather flags, and no stacks separated from the field — so the angle today is individual value. Kevin McGonigle at $4,900 projects 11.6 points, which is the clearest salary-to-projection gap on the board; at 3B/SS eligibility for Detroit, he opens lineup flexibility without burning budget. Grayson Rodriguez is the interesting pitcher at $6,000 with an 11.2 projection pitching for the Angels — low salary for a SP1 slot, worth anchoring a build around if you're going punter-heavy elsewhere. With top_stacks returning empty, forced correlation is a trap today; lean on the value plays and stay balanced.
